It must be me. I must be stupid. It certainly makes no sense to my tiny little brain. My good friend Nigel 'Gresh' Gresham lost four of his beautiful children in an accident last September. Note the word accident. Since then he has been through hell. Yet the CPS yesterday saw fit to advise the police to prosecute him for four counts of death by dangerous driving.
It is not a decision which has been taken lightly given the tragic deaths of Mr Gresham's children and the loss he has suffered as their father.
Effectively they are saying that it is in the public interest to spend tax-payers money to punish a man that can not possibly be punished any further. A man that has already hit a low that none of us can possibly imagine, will be kicked down lower by having his remaining children (is it in their interests to possibly lose their father as well as their siblings?) taken from him. But I must be wrong of course, according to the CPS they "Champion justice, and defend our rights". Perhaps a re-think might be in order. Let us just hope that a jury will see the sense that "The System" appears to be missing.
